Thankful

This has been a busy day! And based on what I've been reading, you are all busy too. In spite of all this craziness- and following the example of so many other bloggers- I want to take a few minutes to share what I'm thankful for:

Life in General:
  • My husband: He really is a great guy!
  • My boys: They are the best!
  • My home: It's small but I love it.
  • My church: It's casual, welcoming, and filled with fun people.
  • My neighborhood: I love the hills behind my house!
  • My new job: I love that my schedule won't take me away from my kids. I think it'll be fun and the extra paycheck will be very welcome.
  • Health: What a blessing that my boys and family are healthy!
Running:
  • I got to run today!!
  • Less pain in my heel
  • Less pain in my calf
  • The weather here... which allows me to run outside year-round
  • My Blogger friends... sounds cheesy but it's true. You help keep me motivated!
  • My cute little socks
  • Sunscreen
  • Lip Balm
  • My iPod
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! I've been reading your blogs... I just haven't had much time to leave comments. Enjoy your day tomorrow (or today?). I hope it's filled with love, family, fun, and good food!

Happy Thanksgiving!
I think I missed the new job...what's your new job? Maybe I need to go back and read previous posts, I missed a bit when I was sick.

Also, those pictures did make it look like my family is very prim and proper and Eric's is...not haha. In reality though, we both have pretty relaxed families, my mom just has a little Martha Stewart in her so the table looks nice and proper haha. The dinner conversation that followed did not really match the centerpiece haha

I've been out of the blogging routine as well lately. It seems I have just been preoccupied with baby-mania.

Sounds like you have a lot to be thankful for. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!

A Few of my Favorite Things Giveaway & Happy Blog Birthday!

Happy birthday to Blog Happy birthday to Blog Happy birthday, dear Blo-ooog... Happy birthday to blog! One year ago today I posted my very first running blog post. If you feel so inclined, you can read it here .  The funny thing is, I thought I had come up with an original idea:  I would chronicle my marathon-training journey for all the world to see! It didn't take long to discover that there were lots of people out there with running blogs.  Did I mind?  Heck, no!  What I lacked in originality, I gained a hundred-fold in support, encouragement, and knowledge from this incredible community of runners. I believe there is a good chance that I would have given up on running and training if it weren't for my Running Blogger Friends.  Your stories, experiences, triumphs, trials, and heart-breaks have kept the running spark alive in me.   I consider each of my Running Blogger Friends a blessing. In order to thank you and to celebrate my blog's first birthday, I am

There's GOT to be a Better Way-- Part II

Note: If you haven't read Part I of this, you might want to go back one post.  Here, I'll even save you the trouble of having to click around too much to get there.  Just click here:  Part I  I left off on my last post explaining what I had been learning about running barefoot as opposed to running with shoes.  I tried to leave you guessing regarding what I was going to do with the information... but I'm sure you've figured it out.  And if we're Facebook friends, you probably already know. Making Contact The more I read about barefoot running, the more I just wanted to get out there and try it.  I have always enjoyed being barefoot and I love to feel the ground under my feet (unless I'm in my boys' bathroom... then I pretty much have to put on some of those biohazard footies prior to entry). So the other day, I was a good cross-trainer and went on a bike ride.  After that, I decided to go on very short, one-mile run.  I headed out with the intenti

Goals and Plans for 2010

Image
I'm caving into the peer pressure and decided to blog about my goals (or "resolutions" if you prefer).  I don't usually make New Year's resolutions but, as always, I've been inspired by my Running Blogger Friends. Health Goals Eat more fruits and veggies... in fact, as of three days ago, I'm a vegetarian.  I'm going to go month-by-month on the whole vegetarian thing.  I'm trying it out to see if being a vegetarian makes me feel any different.   Eat more raw foods Drink at least 60 ounces of water everyday Cut back on sugar Training Goals Ride and Run a total of 2010 combined miles Strengthen my core, ankles & feet, and upper body Join a running group Run or cross-train five days a week Get custom orthotics if current injury-eliminating endeavors don't work   Personal Goals Get clean laundry put away before the pile turns into Mt. Everest I try to be realistic when I set goals.  I think all of those goals are do-able.  We
